We're here to help you succeed
VetBiz is a free Virginia Small Business Development Center (SBDC) program developed by the Roanoke Regional SBDC. We have two primary goals: to advocate for and support veteran business ownership and provide access to resources and advice needed to start + run a successful business.
With resources, connections, and a strong network forged on the web and in-person at live meet-ups, existing and aspiring veteran small business owners are made stronger and have more opportunities than ever before.
In a nutshell, we help you build a better bottom line so you can get on with your big ideas.
